However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1 described above, since the entire lower space of the seat body is covered with the cover body, the rear seat occupant cannot extend his / her legs forward from the cover body. Therefore, the passenger may feel cramped, and there is room for improvement in terms of improving ride comfort.
Moreover, in the structure of patent document 2, although a leg can be made to approach into the clearance gap between a vehicle body floor and a footrest main-body part among the lower spaces of a seat main body, the height of the up-down direction of the above-mentioned clearance gap is low. After all, it is difficult to eliminate the tightness of the crew.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle seat that can improve the riding comfort of an occupant seated on a rear row seat.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 includes a front row sheet (for example, the front row sheet 12 in the embodiment) and a rear row sheet (for example, the back row sheet in the embodiment) provided behind the front row sheet. 13), a slide rail (for example, slide rail 38 in the embodiment) that is provided in a pair of left and right on the front row seat and that is slidably supported in the front-rear direction, and a rear end portion of the slide rail. A foot (for example, the rear foot 51 in the embodiment) attached to the vehicle body floor (for example, the vehicle body floor 11 in the embodiment), and a foot cover (for example, the foot cover 61 in the embodiment) that covers the foot separately. The upper surface of the foot cover (for example, the upper wall portion 73 in the embodiment) is diagonally forward. Inclined surface extending towards (e.g., inclined portion 75 in the embodiment), characterized in that is formed.

  In the invention described in claim 2, the slide rail is fixed to the lower rail (for example, the lower rail 37 in the embodiment) fixed to the vehicle body floor via the foot, and is fixed to the lower surface of the front row seat. An upper rail (for example, the upper rail 35 in the embodiment) that is slidable in the front-rear direction may be provided, and the inclined surface may be disposed on a movement locus on which the upper rail slides.

  In the invention described in claim 3, the inclined surface is located above a fastener (for example, the fastener 50 in the embodiment) for fastening and fixing the foot to the vehicle body floor, and the inclined surface of the foot cover. A rear wall (for example, the rear wall portion 66 in the embodiment) that extends downward and covers the fastener from the rear may be formed at the rear end.

  In the invention described in claim 4, the vertical ribs extending in the vertical direction below the inclined surface of the foot cover (for example, the second vertical rib 65 and the third vertical rib 72 in the embodiment). May be provided.

  In the invention described in claim 5, the lower end of the vertical rib may be close to the foot from above.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, by forming the inclined surface on the upper surface of the foot cover, the inclined surface can function as a footrest for the rear seat occupant. Thereby, the riding comfort of the rear seat occupant can be improved.
In particular, since a foot cover is provided for each slide rail, the lower space of the front row seat is opened rearward between the slide rails. Therefore, the rear seat occupant can make his / her feet enter the lower space of the front row seat. As a result, the ride comfort of the rear seat occupant can be reliably improved as compared with the conventional configuration in which the foot covers are bridged.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, when the rear seat occupant moves the front row seat rearward with the foot placed on the inclined surface, the foot of the rear seat occupant interferes with the upper rail. . Thereby, it becomes easy to detect the retreat of the front row seat by tactile sensation.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the rear wall of the foot cover can cover the rear of the foot and between the upper rail and the fastener from the rear, so that the foot is between the upper rail and the fastener. There is no fear of entering.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since the vertical rib is formed below the inclined surface, the rigidity of the foot cover can be ensured. Thereby, a leg of a backseat crew member can be supported more stably by an inclined part.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, since the vertical rib is close to the rear foot from above, the downward movement of the foot cover can be restricted. Thereby, a leg of a backseat crew member can be supported more stably by an inclined part.

[vehicle]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram (side view) of the vehicle 10.
As shown in FIG. 1, a front row seat (vehicle seat) 12 and a rear row seat 13 are arranged on the vehicle body floor 11 of the vehicle 10 at intervals in the front-rear direction.

<Back row sheet>
FIG. 2 is a side view of the skeleton part of the rear row sheet 13.
As shown in FIG. 2, the rear row seat 13 first includes a seat body 23 in which a seat back 22 is tiltably connected to a rear end portion of a seat cushion 21 fixed to the vehicle body floor 11. In the illustrated example, a pair of rear row sheets 13 are provided on the left and right. Further, in the rear row seat 13, a standing wall 14 that rises upward along the side surface of the seat cushion 21 is extended on the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the seat cushion 21, and above the standing wall 14. An armrest 15 is provided for the passenger to place his / her arms on. The upright wall 14 is formed in a substantially box shape that is long in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, and accommodates a frame member (not shown), a lever component for reclining operation, and the like.

  Further, the rear row seats 13 can be obliquely slidably moved in the front-rear direction via a pair of seat rails 16 installed on the vehicle body floor 11, more precisely toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction toward the rear. ing. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the seat rail 16 is installed on the vehicle body floor 11 so as to incline outward in the vehicle width direction toward the front. The rear row seat 13 slidably moving on the seat rail 16 is located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the rear wheel house 17 provided on the side portion in the vehicle interior of the vehicle 10 at the rearmost end moving position (solid line in FIG. 3). In the foremost end moving position (chain line in FIG. 3), the outermost position is positioned outside the rearmost end moving position in the vehicle width direction and in front of the rear wheel house 17. Therefore, when the rear row seat 13 is in the vicinity of the foremost end movement position, a sufficiently large separation distance can be secured between the left and right adjacent rear row seats 13, and interference with the rear wheel house 17 can be caused. And can be slid to the end position.

  Further, the rear row seat 13 of the present embodiment is a so-called tumble operation in which the seat back 22 is folded in half on the seat cushion 21 and the entire seat body 23 is flipped forward in the state at the foremost end movement position described above. Is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rear row seat 13 is supported by a seat rail 16 laid on the vehicle body floor 11 so that a plate-like slide base 18 is slidable. Thus, the front end of the seat cushion 21 is connected so as to be able to turn back and forth. A seat back 22 is rotatably connected to the rear end portion of the seat cushion 21 via a reclining mechanism 20. Further, a tumble striker 24 made of a U-shaped bar-like member protrudes from the rear end portion of the slide base 18 so that a lock mechanism 25 provided at the lower end of the rear portion of the seat back 22 is engaged with the tumble striker 24. It has become.

  The reclining mechanism 20 is released by any one of a reclining release lever 26 provided on the side portion of the seat cushion 21 and a reclining release strap 27 provided on the rear end of the standing wall 14 below the armrest 15. It is designed to be operated.

  In addition, when the reclining mechanism 20 is released, the seat back 22 rotates around the rotation shaft 20a of the reclining mechanism 20 and transitions to a two-stage forward tilted state. That is, the seat back 22 is in a half-tilt state in which it is tilted forward by about half before the tumble operation is completed, and then in a full-tilt state in which the seat back 22 is tilted until it overlaps the seat cushion 21. A semi-falling stopper 28 is provided at the rear end of the seat cushion 21, and when the reclining mechanism 20 is released, the stopper pin 29 on the seat back 22 side comes into contact with the half-falling stopper 28. The seat back 22 is maintained in a half-turned state. A slide lock mechanism 30 that locks the slide position of the slide base 18 is provided between the slide base 18 and the seat rail 16. In a state where the rear row seat 13 is not operated at all, the slide lock mechanism 30 maintains the slide base 18 in the locked state.

  As described above, when the seat back 22 is brought into a half-turned state by the release operation of the reclining mechanism 20, the slide lock mechanism 30 is unlocked in response to the operation. When the seat cushion 21 (slide base 18) is slid to the foremost end movement position after the slide lock mechanism 30 is released, the half-falling stopper 28 described above is then unlocked strap at the rear end of the seat cushion 21. When 39 is pulled, it is displaced so as to be separated from the stopper pin 29. As a result, the seatback 22 is released from the restriction of rotation by the half-falling stopper 28 and transitions to the full-falling state.

  The locking mechanism 25 that locks the rotation of the front portion of the seat cushion 21 is engaged with the tumble striker 24 on the slide base 18 in a normal state, but the seat cushion 21 (slide base 18) is the foremost end. When the seat back 22 is moved to the moving position and the seat back 22 is changed to the all-falling state, the engagement with the tumble striker 24 is released by the operation.

Here, a specific tumble operation of the rear row sheet 13 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the rear row seat 13 is in the normal posture (the posture in which the seat back 22 stands up rearward), one of the reclining release lever 26 and the reclining release strap 27 is operated. Then, the seat back 22 is tilted forward about the rotating shaft 20a of the reclining mechanism 20 and is in a half-fall state. Thus, when the seat back 22 is in a half-tilt state, the lock of the slide lock mechanism 30 is released.

  Next, when the rear row seat 13 is pushed forward from this state, the rear row seat 13 slides and moves obliquely forward along the seat rail 16 as shown in FIG. When the rear row seat 13 moves to the foremost end movement position in this manner, the seat back 22 can be shifted to the fully-falling state by pulling in the unlocking strap 39.

  From this state, as shown in FIG. 4C, when the unlocking strap 39 is pulled, the seat back 22 is fully tilted about the rotating shaft 20a of the reclining mechanism 20, and the locking mechanism 25 and the tumble striker 24 are The engagement is released.

  When the engagement between the lock mechanism 25 and the tumble striker 24 is released in this way, the entire rear row seat 13 rotates as shown in FIG. 4 (D) by the force of a biasing spring (not shown) built in the rotary hinge 19. Slowly rotates (tumbles) around the moving hinge 19. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (E), the rear row seat 13 is locked and fixed to the skeleton member of the vehicle body by the locking tool 36.

The claw 63 has a triangular shape when viewed from the front-rear direction, and the amount of protrusion inward in the left-right direction increases as it goes upward. The claw part 63 is locked to the above-described locking part 57 of the rear foot 51 at the upper end edge and the rear end edge thereof, so that the movement of the foot cover 61 upward and rearward with respect to the rear foot 51 is restricted. .

  A first vertical rib 64 (see FIG. 8) that protrudes inward in the left-right direction is formed in a portion of the upper portion of the side wall portion 62 that faces the lower rail 37 in the left-right direction. The first vertical ribs 64 extend in the up-down direction and are formed in a plurality at intervals in the front-rear direction. The left and right inner ends of the first vertical ribs 64 are close to or in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the lower rail 37.

  Further, in the side wall portion 62, a portion of the rear foot 51 that faces the floor mounting portion 54 in the left-right direction is provided with second vertical ribs 65 (see FIG. 7) that protrude inward in the left-right direction. A plurality are formed with a gap. The second vertical rib 65 has a triangular shape in front view, extends along the vertical direction, and gradually increases in length in the left-right direction as it goes downward. And the lower end edge of the 2nd vertical rib 65 is adjoining or contact | abutted from the upper part to the right-and-left both ends of the flange part 59 among the rear foot 51 mentioned above, respectively.

  The rear wall portion (rear wall) 66 located rearward of the foot cover 61 connects the rear end edges of the side wall portions 62, and is in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting wall portion 55 of the rear foot 51 described above. It is arranged with a gap in between. A locking piece 71 (see FIG. 7) projects from the lower end of the rear wall 66 toward the front. The locking piece 71 has a plate-like shape with the vertical direction as the thickness direction, and is locked to the rear end of the flange portion 59 from below in the rear foot 51 described above.

  In the rear wall portion 66, a plurality of third vertical ribs 72 protruding forward are formed at a portion located above the locking piece portion 71 with a space in the left-right direction. The third vertical rib 72 has a triangular shape in side view, extends along the vertical direction, and gradually expands as the amount of forward protrusion decreases downward. And the lower end edge of the 3rd vertical rib 72 adjoins or contact | abuts from the upper part to the rear-end part of the flange part 59 among the rear part foot 51 mentioned above, and a flange part between the locking piece parts 71 mentioned above. 59 is sandwiched in the vertical direction.

In the foot cover 61, the upper wall portion 73 positioned above is formed following the upper edge of each side wall portion 62 and the rear wall portion 66. Specifically, the upper wall portion 73 heads forward from the upper end edge of each side wall portion 62 from the flat portion 74 formed between the front portions and the upper end edge of the rear wall portion 66 of the rear wall portion 66. And an inclined portion 75 extending upward (in the diagonally upward direction).
The flat portion 74 protrudes inward in the left-right direction from the front portion of the upper end edge of each side wall portion 62 and is disposed so as to cover the bent wall 42 of the lower rail 37 from above.

  The inclined portion 75 is inclined along the rear portion of the upper edge of each side wall portion 62, and the outer surface thereof serves as a footrest surface for the rear seat occupant. The inclined portion 75 is disposed at a position overlapping the above-described fastener 50 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position overlapping the slide rail 38 in the front-rear direction.

  In addition, an opening 76 that penetrates in the front-rear direction is formed in a portion of the inclined portion 75 that faces the slide rail 38 in the front-rear direction, specifically, a portion that is located on the movement track of the upper rail 35. The opening 76 communicates with the above-described slit 77 at its upper end. A guide portion 81 that protrudes forward is formed at the opening edge (lower end edge and side end edge) of the opening 76. The guide portion 81 has a C-shape when viewed from the front, and a front end portion of the guide portion 81 is covered with a rear end portion of the lower rail 37. Therefore, the guide portion 81 extends along the same direction as the extending direction of the lower rail 37, and the upper rail 35 can enter inside thereof.

A plurality of front and rear ribs 82 projecting downward are formed in the guide portion 81 at intervals in the left-right direction. These front and rear ribs 82 have a triangular shape in side view, extend along the front-rear direction, and increase in length in the vertical direction toward the front. The front end edges of the front and rear ribs 82 are close to or in contact with the connecting wall portion 55 of the rear foot 51 from the rear, and restrict the forward movement of the foot cover 61 relative to the rear foot 51.
Further, in the guide portion 81 and the inclined portion 75, a plurality of lateral ribs 83 projecting downward are formed at intervals in the front-rear direction at a portion located behind the front-rear rib 82. In the illustrated example, these horizontal ribs 83 are formed at the same pitch in the front-rear direction as the second vertical rib 65 described above.

When the foot cover 61 formed in this way is attached to the rear foot 51, the foot cover 61 is first directed toward the rear foot 51 in a state where the locking piece portion 71 is locked to the flange portion 59 of the rear foot 51. When pushed in, the claw portion 63 of the foot cover 61 comes into contact with the rail attachment portion 53 of the rear foot 51. When the foot cover 61 is further pushed in this state, the side wall portion 62 of the foot cover 61 is elastically deformed outward, so that the claw portion 63 of the foot cover 61 slides on the outer surface of the side wall portion 62 of the rear foot 51. However, the foot cover 61 covers the rear foot 51. Thereafter, when the claw portion 63 of the foot cover 61 gets over the side wall portion 62 of the rear foot 51, the side wall portion 62 of the foot cover 61 is restored and deformed, and the claw portion 63 of the foot cover 61 becomes the locking portion of the rear foot 51. It is locked to 57.
Thereby, the mounting operation of the foot cover 61 is completed.

FIG. 9 is a side view of the front row sheet 12 at the rear end position.
The front row seat 12 of the present embodiment has a front end position in which the rear end portion of the upper rail 35 is positioned forward of the front end portion of the rear foot 51 described later, as shown in FIG. As shown, the seat body 33 moves between the rear end portion of the upper rail 35 and the rear end position located rearward of the rear end portion of the rear foot 51.
In this case, the foot F of the rear seat occupant can be placed on the inclined portion 75 of the foot cover 61 at the front end position shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, since the rear row seats 13 can be slid obliquely, the relative position of the rear row seats 13 with respect to the foot cover 61 can be adjusted as appropriate, and the riding comfort can be improved more reliably. .

  On the other hand, at the rear end position shown in FIG. 9, the upper rail 35 is positioned behind the foot cover 61, and thus the rear seat occupant cannot place the foot F on the inclined portion 75. Even in such a case, in the present embodiment, since the lower space of the seat body 33 is opened in the front-rear direction, the foot F of the rear seat occupant can be inserted into this lower space.

  In the present embodiment, since the opening 76 is formed on the movement locus of the upper rail 35 in the inclined portion 75 of the foot cover 61, the rear seat occupant puts the foot F on the inclined portion 75, When the seat body 33 is moved toward the rear end position, the foot F and the upper rail 35 interfere with each other. Thereby, it becomes easy to detect the retreat of the sheet body 33 by tactile sensation. Since the resin end cap 43 is attached to the rear end portion of the upper rail 35, even if the seat body 33 moves to the rear end position with the foot F placed on the inclined portion 75, the upper rail There is no direct interference between the metal portion 35 and the foot F.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by forming the inclined portion 75 on the upper wall portion 73 of the foot cover 61, the inclined portion 75 can function as a footrest for the rear seat occupant. Thereby, the riding comfort of the rear seat occupant can be improved.
In particular, in this embodiment, since the foot cover 61 is provided for each slide rail 38, the lower space of the seat body 33 is opened rearward between the slide rails 38. Therefore, the rear seat occupant can cause the foot F to enter the lower space of the seat body 33. As a result, the riding comfort of the rear seat occupant can be reliably improved as compared with the conventional configuration in which the foot covers 61 are bridged.

  In addition, since the rear wall portion 66 of the foot cover 61 can cover the rear foot 51 and the space between the upper rail 35 and the fastener 50 from the rear, the foot between the upper rail 35 and the fastener 50 can be covered. There is no risk of entering F.

Further, since the vertical ribs 65 and 72 are formed below the inclined portion 75, the rigidity of the foot cover 61 can be ensured.
Furthermore, since the above-described vertical ribs 65 and 72 are close to the rear foot 51 (flange portion 59) from above, the downward movement of the foot cover 61 can be restricted.
Thereby, the foot F of the rear seat occupant can be more stably supported by the inclined portion 75.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes those in which various modifications are made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In other words, the configuration described in the above-described embodiment is merely an example, and can be changed as appropriate.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the inclined portion 75 is formed only in the rear portion of the upper wall portion 73 of the foot cover 61. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the entire upper wall portion 73 of the foot cover 61 is inclined. It does not matter.
In the above-described embodiment, the front row seat 12 is described as the first row seat in the vehicle interior, and the rear row seat 13 is described as the second row seat in the vehicle interior. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the front row sheet 12 may be applied to the second row sheet, and the rear row sheet 13 may be applied to the third row sheet.
